HAIR ROLLER Filed June 12, 1945 Patented Feb. 3, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT GFFICEf HAIR ROLLER Clyde Simpson Hirsch, Sulphur, La. Application June 12, 1945, Serial No. 598,945

2 Claims. (Cl. 132-55) This invention relates to a hair roller speciali designed as a ladies hair dressing accessory.

An object of the invention is to provid-e a hair roller so shaped and designed that the hair may be rolled under and the roller then secured in position so that the roll will maintain its proper shape.

The roller may be readily curved so as to conform to the curvature of the neck or head and also so as to give different shapes to the roll and to give wide latitude to the positioning of the roll on the head.

A further object of th-e invention resides in the provision of means for securing the roller and roll in the desired position.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction and use, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is an elevational View of the roller.

Figure 2 is a similar View taken at right angles to the View shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2; and

Figure 4 illustrates one application of the roller in use.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals of reference designate the same parts in each of the gures, the numeral l designates the mandrel Which is formed of lint cotton 2, or similar soft material, which may be covered by netting, or other fabric, 3. The mandrel is elongated as shown its length being approximately four times its transverse diameter, although these proportions may be varied.

The numerals 5 and 6 designate the outer and inner bars formed of wire. The inner bar extends through the mandrel 4from end to end, as shown, and the outer bar 5 extends alongside the mandrel. The ends of the mandrel are suitably secured to the bar 6 and at the ends of the mandrel the bars are securely held together by the clamp 1, 1.

Beyond the clamps the Wire is formed into the end loops 8, 8.

Ribbons 9, 9 are fastened, at one end, to the wire by the clamps 1 and the other ends of these ribbons are free.

When the hair has been rolled around the f r-oller, or rather when the roller has been rolled underneath the hair the loops 8, 8 may be bent inwardly underneath the roller as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 2 thus forming clamps to clamp the hair and to hold the roll in place.

vThe roll maybe further maintained in place by tying the ribbons 9 together either underneath the roll or by bringing them around over the roll and tying them in the manner illustrated in Figure 4.

The ends `of the roll may be maintained in proper position by means of the ordinary hair pins.

The hair roll may be positioned about the head as desired and, by suitably bending the roller the hair roll may be given the particular shape desired but in either case it will be held in position as above indicated.

The drawings and description are illustrative merely while the broad principle of the invention will be defined by the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. A hair roller comprising, an elongated mandrel formed of soft materitl contained in a fabric sac and being of a general arcuate contour and having major and minor transverse diameters, the major transverse diameter being uniform, substantially, from end to end of the mandrel, approximately parallel bars formed of bendable material, one of said bars extending lengthwise through the mandrel from vend to end and adjacent the side thereof which forms the linside of the arc and the other bar being arranged alongside said side of the mandrel, said bars being joined at their ends forming continuous loops which extend beyond the ends of the mandrel.

2. A hair roller comprising, an elongated mandrel formed of soft material contained in a fabric sac and being of a general arcuate contour and having 'major and minor transverse diameters, the major transverse diameter being uniform, substantially, from end to end of the mandrel, approximately parallel bars formed of bendable REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the le 0f this patentr Number 10 Number UNITED STATES PATENTS Name Date Beadle July 4, 1933 Huppert Feb. 7, 1939 Huppert Aug. 27, 1946 FOREIGN PATENTS Country Date France Oct. 12, 1908
